This template is a starting point for building Grafana Data Source Backend Plugins
Grafana supports a wide range of data sources, including Prometheus, MySQL, and even Datadog. There’s a good chance you can already visualize metrics from the systems you have set up. In some cases, though, you already have an in-house metrics solution that you’d like to add to your Grafana dashboards. Grafana Data Source Plugins enables integrating such solutions with Grafana.
For more information about backend plugins, refer to the documentation on Backend plugins.
A data source backend plugin consists of both frontend and backend components.
